Helmbreaker owns the skies lol.
Helmbreaker, Stand H (why they thought this shit needed to hit confirm ON BOTH SIDES is beyond me) combined with tele's and assist do a pretty good job controlling the skies as a package.
He can block that even while using Web Zip, though. Should make the move ripe for punishing.
Not that simple though. Inside 2/3rds distance, I can't reliably use that move because of stand H just brutalizing it.
If I block on my way there from full screen, I'm next to vergil, who will make me block and then kill me. His L's are as fast as mine, and not stubby, plus advantage will be gone by the time I'm there. Should he pishblock it, he's got his other buttons which have me beat considerably in range.
Have to also respect the stupidity of a surprise helm breaker as soon as I land. Not only that, it's really easy to react to from that distance.
If he's playing coy/ trying to block instead of punish all the time, it's not bad. The ones who recognize the insane space control/bullshit confirms he gets are the ones driving me crazy, lol.I despise characters that play themselves against the entire/most of the cast in any fighter. Zero at least have to have pretty solid movement before they start taking people out.
Viper beats Vergil or at least gives him trouble. She blows through his block string and can put him in a guessing situation. She can blow his teleport mix up game and his ground footsie game. The only reason why this match up isn't lop sided is because Vergil is one of the few characters in the game who doesn't have to respect EX Seismo because of Spiral Swords. That's the one move Viper has to respect.
Wolverine, Jill and X-23 are definitely very good if they get within his comfort zone... Jill in particular has CC tech against Vergil. Chun Li defensively can deal with Vergil's shenanigans but that requires a very good Chun Li player to use her tools to beat him. Joe is good too from a defensive stand point. Spencer vs Vergil is 50/50, both of them have to respect each other. Magneto and Taskmaster are solid against everyone.
The best character in the game against Vergil and this is going to be a shock... Rocket Raccoon.
Thanks for this. I hear ya on the comfort zone thing, I don't like risking Laura so early though, hahaha. Pretty dangerous game, but I'll see how far it gets me.
Will look into rocky and Logan
Definitely gonna look into this too. Fight insanity with insanity.
Willing to bring back the centurion too.
